While at the Southern Bead Retreat, the participants were given baggies of these wonderful black rings. We were told it was a contest. Our mission, should we decide to accept, was to use these rings to make something lovely and beaded!!! Here are the pictures of my progress! I hope the contest sponsers, The Beadcage in Columbus, GA enjoy seeing this post. If you would like to order some rings to make your own necklace or just try your hand at beading them, just contact http://www.thebeadcage.com/index.php

Just trying out my design before beading it. I kind of like this idea!

Done. Below you can see the whole necklace and the closure. I hid snaps inside the triangle!

About Me

Hi! I am a beadweaver. Yes, one of those 'one tiny bead at a time' people! I love it! I did not start out as a beadweaver. I was a kindergarten teacher in my former life but fell into beadweaving when my family relocated. I started learning beadweaving techniques in August of '08. I quickly became engrossed with all the possibilities. I am continually looking for new techniques, while practicing and developing the ones I know. I love to create original works, especially, because they are very challenging and require a lot of thought and problem solving. Sometimes they start out as one idea and evolve into something quite different. Playing with beads...that's me!!!
